eID Easy Signing

To perform eID Easy signatures, follow the below-mentioned steps:

1. From the document listing, open a document having a Qualified Electronic Signature and/or Advanced Electronic Signature field that you want to sign.

2. Click on the signature field and click "Sign".

3. Select the eID Easy Signing Server.

   
4. Upon clicking the "Sign" button, the eId widget will appear. Based on the country configured in the user's personal settings and the level of assurance of the signature field, the signing methods will appear in the dialogue box. Select a signing method to proceed with.

   
5. Based on the selected signing method, complete the authorization process. Once the authorization is complete the document will be signed.

   
6. After the authorization is complete, the eID Easy API uses a webhook to send the signing certificate details to SigningHub which is used to fetch the "Signed by" information. The webhook URL, "[Web_URL]/v4/custom-cades-digest-webhook", is configured against the "Custom CAdES digest webhook" property in the eID Easy.

7. After signing the document, you can view "Signature Verification".

1. The signature Policy is not supported with eID Easy signing.

2. The eID Easy Signing Server will only appear if the level of assurance of the signature field is set to Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) and/or Advanced Electronic Signature (AES).

3. When both Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES) and Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES) are selected as the level of assurance for a signature field, signing with an AES-associated method in the eID Easy widget will display the level of assurance as QES in the workflow history, due to a system limitation on eID Easy's side.

4. Bulk signing is not supported with the eID Easy Server.

5. The signing logs are maintained under "User Activity Logs", "Workflow History", and "Workflow Evidence Report".
